The Iowa Region was approached to endorse a Men’s PVL team. The team is being formed from former Great Lakes region players who have joined the Iowa Region. The team will be coached by Donan Cruz the Men’s Volleyball Coach at Grand View University. The team will be called Iowa Icemen. This team will play during the season in tournaments in the Midwest.

Players for the PVA team participating at USAV Open National Championships will be composed of players now on the team, D1 players, players playing overseas leagues and players that apply for the team. Those players who would like to be part of this team should apply online and will be contacted by Donan Cruz and Tim Fulknor. All members of the PVL team will need to be Iowa Region members. The Iowa Region is not able to fund the team so the team is doing fundraising and all costs will be paid for by the team members.

Although this team will not consist of players that all live in Iowa, the team offers those great players we have in the region a chance to compete for us at the highest level available. The Iowa Icemen team in return for the endorsement will be sending pictures, articles and helping at a boy’s event in the Iowa Region. The hope is that a strong Men’s program at the Top level will help advance the already growing grassroots boy’s level.
